Time Flies!

I have no idea where the time has gone. It has just flown by...I have been busy, but it still has flown by faster than I realized. My cousin was here from Oklahoma and that had me busy but only for a day or so. Yet, I cannot account for where it has gone. It's almost as if I've been sleeping or in a coma or something!

I know that I have still been busy taking care of grand children and enjoying every minute of it, but it certainly hasn't taken up all my time. Perhaps I have been busier than I thought just catching up with housework and laundry. Unless I am behind because it is taking me longer to get everything done since I injured my foot! I don't really know how I did it for sure. I think I fell off a backless shoe and landed on the hard edge of the shoe with my heel...the doctor says it's plantar fascitis. He took x-rays and said there are no bone spurs which surprised him. He also said it is terribly painful.....that much I already knew and didn't need to fork over a $20 co-pay for that piece of information. He says he has it too and he prescribed 800mg Motrin for me with one refill. I must remember that this med is a pain reliever not a 'pain killer'! It does help some, but I guess I must be a baby, because I am tired of it huring all the time!

On a sad note, my little Amber has moved to Pentwater, MI. It is over 80 miles one way from where I live. I know we won't be able to see each other as much as we are use to and she cried quite hard the last time I spoke with her on the phone the night before they made the move. I'm sure she'll adjust fine......me, not so much! :(

(((((Martie))))) sorry about your foot and about Amber moving. Being busy is not such a bad thing. Sometimes it is better. I guess it just depends upon how you feel. If the activities are bringing you joy then it is a good thing. I will continue to pray for the healing of your foot. Hugs

I have a couple of co-workers (in our summertime work) that have this. I think we take our feet for granted until they hurt as mine have started throbbing as well. I think that rest is the main way to recover...but who among us can do that??!!

I'm sorry about Amber's move. But through letters, emails and phone calls you will remain close at heart. We live about that far from my mom and dad, but my kids are still extremely close to "Nan and Pop" and our time together is always precious.

plantar fascitis...ouch I have had that and it is painful....and double ouch with Amber moving....I feel your pain....I feel like that everytime I put my girls on the ferry home......I just count the days till I see them again and find solace in knowing I will see them again.....Amber is in your heart always...I hope it is not to long to you see each other again....cheers my friend
